Hunting for resources in *Monster Hunter Wilds* can be a rewarding but sometimes challenging endeavor. Sharp Fangs, a crucial crafting material, are among the trickier items to acquire. This guide will walk you through finding and farming these essential fangs.
Early in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll discover Sharp Fangs in the Windward Plains. These fangs are key ingredients for crafting early-game gear sets like Chatacabra and Talioth armor. To begin your hunt, consider undertaking optional quests such as "Beware the Chatacabra" or "The Desert is Demanding." These quests conveniently grant you access to the Windward Plains with a generous 50-minute time limit. Remember to prepare with a hearty meal before venturing out.
Once in the Windward Plains, head to Area 8 – the largest area, teeming with smaller monsters. While several creatures can drop Sharp Fangs, one stands out as the most reliable source.
Gaijos: Your Primary Target
Gaijos are small leviathan-like creatures, resembling crocodiles with unique snouts. They're typically found near or in riverbeds, usually solitary. Use the interactive map to locate the purple diamond markers near water sources – these indicate Gaijo locations. These monsters are relatively weak, making them easy targets even with early-game weapons. Defeating a Gaijo guarantees a single Sharp Fang upon carving its carcass.
With several Gaijos typically spawning in Area 8, you can efficiently farm Sharp Fangs by repeatedly completing Windward Plains quests. This provides a reliable and repeatable method for acquiring this valuable resource.
Talioth: An Alternative Source
Talioth, bipedal creatures found in packs in Area 8 (and sometimes Area 13), offer a secondary, albeit less reliable, source of Sharp Fangs. While they're slightly tougher than Gaijos, they remain manageable even with early-game equipment. While not guaranteed, Talioth carcasses have a chance to drop Sharp Fangs alongside other materials like Talioth Scales. Hunting Talioth also provides a convenient way to complete the "The Desert is Demanding" optional quest, requiring you to slay eight of these creatures.
